Success Problem
As a manager, leader, or team member, we can imagine to always follow not only one but two agendas, a task-oriented agenda and a basic people-oriented “agenda”
Impact
Traditionally, leadership styles have been characterized, among others, on two essential dimensions: task-oriented versus relationship-oriented. There is a tight interaction between the task and person/relationship aspects. The intention is to find—for each task, goal, or issue—a way to accomplish it in a way that would both (i) accomplish the task, goal, or issue as effectively as possible and (ii) be coherent with person- and relationship-centered principles/values as much as possible.
Recommendation
What needs to be expressed is the interdependence of the two aspects. We need to reach some goal, accomplish something, and thereby be as person/relationship- centered, mature, resourceful, and cooperative as possible. We need to be authentic in a humanistic sense, but in some context, we perceive as relevant—so to speak, to crystallize our personalities and relationships according to some challenge that would help us move forward in a particular task or goal as social human beings.
